Protein attributes

Sequence length	209 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space By similarity.
Subunit structure	Directly interacts with TJP1/ZO-1, TJP2/ZO-2 and TJP3/ZO-3. Interacts with EPHA2; phosphorylates CLDN4 and may regulate tight junctions. Ref.4
Subcellular location	Cell junction › tight junction By similarity. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity.
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by EPHA2 is stimulated by EFNA1 and alters interaction with TJP1. Ref.4
Involvement in disease	CLDN4 is located in the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) critical region. WBS results from a hemizygous deletion of several genes on chromosome 7q11.23, thought to arise as a consequence of unequal crossing over between highly homologous low-copy repeat sequences flanking the deleted region.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the claudin family.
